Guy,
As promised here is a photo with Rambo wearing the Herm Sprenger Stainless Steel Prong Collar and a basic Schutzhund video with Rambo training on the sleeve. (which he took to straight away.)
Cheers.
From: Lucas and Rambo, Australia There is nothing magical about training dogs. Good dog training is all common sense together with a foundation based on experience and understanding of the way dogs think and interact. Everyone is able to do it. But sometimes dog owners need an additional equipment to teach their dogs to obey.
Herm Sprenger disigners put a lot of effort to create such an equipment. Many experienced dog trainers say that it is strongly recommended to use pinch collars in a process of training. Though some people think pinch collars look awful the fact is they are far more humane than an ordinary Choke Collar. We bring to your attention
Stainless Steel - Dog pinch collar (made in Germany).

Stainless steel has lots of advantages over the normal steel especially in coastal areas where steel chains can become slightly rusty already in the shops.
There are also a large number of dogs which are crazy for water. Furthermore there are dog groups which are permanently in contact with wetness, e.g. the hunting dogs and the dogs working for the police. Chains made of normal steel will become dull after contact with wetness. Especially salt water will roughen the plating layer with the result that the chain gets rusty. This cannot happen with stainless steel. Additionally you have the advantage of better breaking load which will give you even a higher security and a long lifespan. All Sprenger stainless steel chains are marked with the metal label and the shiny red point marked with protected
HS-Germany. Furthermore all rings are correspondingly stamped.

Why do we use stainless steel although the material and the production are so expensive?
